Let Go

I do a lot of thinking when I am running. Today was 10 miles so I had an hour and a half to think!
There's been a lot of grief and death near friends of mine lately. And they are sad and broken-hearted. They believe in God and know that eternal life is a reality. Yet they still mourn. What if we changed our paradigm? Think about when someone gets into the college of their dreams, or goes on a trip of a lifetime...are we sad and mournful or do we rejoice with them even though we will not be with them anymore? I think if we shifted our thoughts of death to winning the lottery or getting the chance of a lifetime instead of despair because we no longer have a physical being we might not be so tired all the time.
So then my thoughts shifted once again...Have you ever played the Trust Game? You know the one where you stand in front of some one and close your eyes and just fall backwards? It's really hard to do but once you let go and fall, it's amazing how good you feel when you are caught. God is like that...He wants us to let go and trust him. If we just have one iota of faith and let go of grief, anxiety, addiction, fear, etc. He will catch us and love us like we have never been loved before.
So...let go, be amazed, and be loved more than you can even imagine! It's an incredible indescribable thing and I encourage everyone to do it.....just....let.....go.......
